First I have to say that you won me over with your picture of your dog Barney. I love him! I also very much like your entry in this challenge. I'm not sure how to help you with it. The only thing that comes to mind is that it might work better if the line formed by the placement of the child's hands were perfectly verticle. That would seem to anchor the picture against the tilt. Not sure, but I keep thinking that when I look at this otherwise excellent photo. Nice work.

Kudos for trying something different, we should all do that more often. As far as the image goes, i like the texture on the building and the glow of the dome thingy. I like how your model seems to come out of the darkness and how his head is almost vertical with the tilted background. The main thing i dont like is the harsh lighting which is causing a couple of blown out regions (top left of frame and left side of subjects face). I guess there's not a whole lot you can do about those except for shooting at a different time of day, so yeah, with the option you had available,, good job. Hope this helps

I agree with the Avg Commenters. This is a really good photo. I love his expression and body gestures, like he is getting ready to move into his presto-karate move.

I like that your trying something different. The kid is cute, the pose works on a young, free spirit, although I think i would have straightened it so his eyes were level. The harsh light on his face really is, IMO, the biggest negative. The only other complaint that i could come up with in the photo is the halo around the dome.

Michelle, this is priceless. The high contrast very much works for me (very much) and the vogue pose is just perfect for this unusual location. Love that little window behind and the fact the dome is kinda glowing. Excellent shot in my book. Can't say I'd change a thing.

Hi Michelle, a critique for you. I actually really like this image, but I think your own comments probably sum up why it didn't score well. I think the tilt works really well. Particularly with his funky pose, it doesn't look odd that he's tilted. The highlight on the face is a big negative. Ideally, he would be shadowed with a diffuser, and maybe a reflector used to bring his face up a little, and maybe some lightening in PS. Ideally, I think he would be closer to the camera. There's a funny line on his collar. Maybe just a black t-shirt would be better. The high contrast editing is too much for me. I often do this, and have to look at it again the next day, and then add some fill-light. The heavy editing look to the sky would also bring the votes down I think. It is a nice effect, but looks unnatural. As another idea, it might be interesting to see this shot in colour, or maybe a selective desat. But overall, I think it's pretty cool. This is definitely worth going back there for a reshoot.
